The universe is cold, uncaring, and always, at every moment, trying to kill us. Even before we are born, if we are lucky enough to make it that far, it is wearing at us, and in the end, through various possible means, it always wins. 1/

“I expressed my support for the One-China policy ... as well as our desire not to see independence,”
Well, fuck Gavin Newsom.
That is not the US stance on the One-China policy. He steered HARD into the party narrative here.

Ladies and gentlemen, here is a shining example of the way Chinese nationalists attempt to exploit Western ideology to defend an authoritarian neo-fascist state. Note the way that any criticism or mockery of the state is automatically an attack on the whole of China.

You seem to think you've made a point, here. You haven't. The fact that we're not under imminent threat of invasion from our immediate neighbors does not mean we won't be under threat if invasion from anyone. Nor does it mean that we're safe from our own govt going authoritarian.

This is sadly not all that surprising. As has been stated before, China begins teaching children from very early ages to blindly hate Japan. People are often quick to defend this, citing Japan's own war crimes, which is a fair enough argument, but still presents problems.

I am progressive, but I see it as the latter. Inequality isn't ethical, but it is inescapable. We should do everything we can to make the playing field as fair to everyone as we can, but we can't force natural systems to do exactly what we want. Equity is horrible and unnatural.

Note: This is the same fool who suggested that we basically just give Taiwan to China as a "compromise", to avoid war. His solution for avoiding war is appeasing neo-fascist authoritarian states, because that worked out SO well for us in the past.

You’re smart enough not to swallow media & other propaganda bs.

China does not like being called-out on its behavior. It accuses other nations of meddling in its affairs, but whenever it itself is accused, the Party resorts to petty, childish antics.
China plans to expel a Canadian diplomat in retaliation for Ottawa's ordering a Chinese consular official to leave over alleged threats he made against a Canadian lawmaker and his family.
